On the Rocks: Strawberry Basil Mojito.
Ideally I would mix up a pitcher of these Strawberry Basil Mojitos and sit in my backyard with a few friends chatting until the sun was long past set. In reality it will probably be me sitting in my living room with the AC blasting and watching The Bachelorette or Wipeout. The only constant: the cocktail of course!
Ingredients:
– 3 fresh strawberries
– 3-5 fresh basil leaves
– 2 oz. simple syrup
– 2 oz. white rum
– crushed ice
– club soda
Slice the strawberries and place at the bottom of a tall glass along with the basil leaves. Pour in the simple syrup and muddle the mixture. Stir in the rum and top with crushed ice. Top off with club soda and garnish with strawberry slices.
